What types of workouts should I be doing to achieve a Bruce Lee physique?

First thing’s first I am VERY fit already. I’m 19 years old 5’7.5 at 145 pounds, I bench 3 sets of 10 reps with 145lbs, can do around 25 chin ups/30 pull ups, I run cross country and track for my college, I have a borderline 8-pack and my vertical leap is probably somewhere in the range of 30 inches. So I’m not an amateur, I’d like some serious advice.

I’m already pretty cut and stuff I guess, but I want to be in PERFECT physical condition. I want a body fat around 4%(it’s between 5% and 8 now%), I want to be very quick and explosive for any sports or fights I may get into, I still want to maintain my ability in track(I run a sub 4:45 mile), I want to be able to do 40 pull ups, and I want to increase my strength to great levels similar to gymnists while not really gaining any mass at all(I actually want to get back down to 135 pounds like I was last summer, remember like I said I’m a runner;) ).

Those are my goals for myself and I think it’s very realistic considering my current physical state, work ethic, and the fact that I feel my body responds very well to any type of training I put it through. I just need to know what kind of training to do. Like ….do I lift heavy or light, how many reps do I do(an exact number, not just high or low), what specific exercises should I do, how often should I workout/lift, how much food should I consume and what types of food? Remember, I want extreme muscle definition and strength like Bruce, but not really any mass, I don’t want to look like a football player. And while I want to become really strong, I also have to maintain a high level of endurance too.

Lately my weekly routine has consisted of lifting on monday’s and wednesday’s with the cross country team, then I lift on my own friday. Monday and Wednesday I do:
- the bench press I described above,
-3 sets of 10 hanging leg raises(knees to face, legs straight)
-3 sets of 10 arm curls, free weights, standing up, 35 pounds
-3 sets of 25 sideways sit ups on the ground on each side
-calve raises, lunges, and leg curls(when my hamstring isn’t hurting)

Friday I’ve been trying Iosometrics because I heard Bruce did those, but I’m not quite sure if the results are giving me the supposed strength and no mass they’re supposed to. I do:
-4 sets diff angles of 4 reps(holding 10 secs) on a bench machine
-5 sets of diff angles, 3 reps each angle, holding each 15-20 sec on the leg raises contraption
-3 sets of 4 diff angles on chin ups, 10 seconds each angle, 25 pounds on me

Alright that’s what I’m doing now, can anyone tell me what I should stop doing or what I should start doing to help me in my goal. Remember I just want to become very powerful and compact, getting more defined muscles, and totally improve my fitness in every aspect…btw I also ride a stationary bike 45 minutes-90 minutes 6 days a week too since I’m cross training on my cross country team(that will be converted to running when I am healthy again).

I’m pretty doubtful that someone knowledgable enough is going to answer me, but what the heck I’ll take the chance.

Die and come back as an asian…. Unless you are one, then run alot and lift weights but dont max lift do lots of smaller reps.

Marie asks…

Help planning weekly workout schedule?

I’m currently doing an 8 week plyometrics program to try to increase my vertical leap. I have to do the plyos two days a week, at least day apart. I want to work in another two days of upper body workouts (mostly just body weight exercises), and I’m trying to figure out how to fit a couple days of cardio in (I have a treadmill at my disposal). Based on what I’ve read, most sources say the day after leg weight lifting workouts should be just for recovery and no cardio should be done, but does that apply to plyometrics?

Here’s a rough schedule of what I want to do

Sunday – Free day to rest my whole body
Monday – Plyometrics
Tuesday – Upper body
Wednesday – Cardio
Thursday – Plyometrics
Friday – Upper body
Saturday – Cardio

Does this seem like a good plan?

admin answers:

Looks good Kevin.
Try and start every day as close to the same time as possible to maximize rest cycle.
And even though current discipline is one day of full rest I usually go for a brisk walk for a couple of miles on my rest day to work out the kinks.
My only concern is what type of cardio. If you are running long distances or treadmill and then doing the plyo the next day you may be pushing your legs a bit much yes? If it is elliptical or bicycle you are probably fine.
Good luck.

admin answers:

Aggressive is a state of mind, you just need to practice with that mindset.

As far as getting in shape and increasing your vertical leap, you need to run a lot. Do a combination of wind sprints (for speed) , 5k distance runs (for endurance), and running up steps (for building leg muscles) Do one of these a day, and mix it up to give your body time to recover. Also, for vertical leap, do squat thrusts and the agility ladder.
